the participation of women is higher for this crime than
for most other crimes. Most countries report overall female
offending rates below 15 per cent of the total for all crimes,
with an average of some 12 per cent; while 30 per cent of
trafficking in persons prosecutions and convictions are of
women offenders. Statistical analyses show that the
involvement of women in trafficking is more frequent in
the trafficking of girls. Qualicative studies suggest that
women involved in human trafficking are normally found
in low-ranking positions of the trafficking networks and
carry out duties that are more exposed to the risk of detec-

There are large differences berween regions and subre-

Europe and the Middle East report more foreign nationals
among the detected offenders. Countries within the same
region may also register differences according to the role
of the country in the trafficking flow, as destination coun-
